Panorama Walk
2851.0 m · net rise 164.7 m · total ascent 200.7 m · overall 5.8% · confidence: good
Shape: sustained — 41% of the climbing sits in a quarter of the distance; longest continuous stretch at 10%+ is 157 m.
Found purely from mapping and LiDAR data, and not yet matched against books, race records or lists — it may be well known to locals under a name we've never heard. It was cross-checked against the OS road network, surface models and map tags, but a discovery can still be an artifact of the terrain model or the map. Treat it as a well-evidenced hypothesis until someone has ridden it. If you know this road, tell us what you found — photographs, corrections and local knowledge all welcome; the map links below let you scout it first.
≈ Overhead cover (tree canopy or structures) spans 34% of this route — detected by comparing the surface model (DSM, treetops and rooftops) against the terrain model (DTM, bare ground). Under cover the bare-ground model is built from fewer laser returns, so metre-scale readings can wobble; maxima whose window sits in a covered zone are marked ≈ below — less certain — the flag does not say whether the true value is higher or lower. Longer windows average over more clean ground and are steadier.
Gradient ladder what do windows mean?
| Window | Maximum | Located at | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 m (diagnostic) | ≈41% | 1933–1935 m | under overhead cover |
| 3 m (diagnostic) | ≈36% | 1932–1935 m | under overhead cover |
| 5 m | ≈31% | 670–675 m | under overhead cover |
| 10 m | ≈31% | 667–677 m | under overhead cover |
| 20 m | ≈29.3% | 667–687 m | under overhead cover terrain reads 29.3% at 670–690 m across terrain that holds no road surface (dense canopy, no bench) — excluded |
| 25 m | ≈28.7% | 663–688 m | under overhead cover terrain reads 29.0% at 665–690 m across terrain that holds no road surface (dense canopy, no bench) — excluded |
| 50 m | ≈23.2% | 639–689 m | under overhead cover terrain reads 24.4% at 653–703 m across terrain that holds no road surface (dense canopy, no bench) — excluded |
| 100 m | ≈18.4% | 1192–1292 m | under overhead cover terrain reads 19.0% at 645–745 m across terrain that holds no road surface (dense canopy, no bench) — excluded |
